Chipped +smaller supercharger drive pulley= Ka--boom! Would be my guess. :dk: Always a temptation with blown engines to just give it that TEENY-bit more boost-------?????
 
How much is an engine swap in terms of labour?

There's an engine on the bay for £2k asking price ATM
 
What an odd ad. SUSPECTED hole in engine? Doesn't the seller know?
 
Well I suppose anybody interested will ask the question where is the hole,it is has a good spec,the car looks like it has been well looked after,it needs somebody who wants one, has the garage space and the knowledge to put it right,I suspect it will make at least another £500 and then you have recovery,plus the repair,it will be nudging the price you can buy a working one for.
 
A sentence containing the word 'bargepole' comes to mind. Unless it stops at that price and the buyer has a LOT of knowledge/tools.
 
Be quite folks......:D

Keep looking at this and already asked the guys to reserve the engine hoist.

Must stop looking....:wallbash:
 
A problem arises that because its a non runner there may be other things wrong which can't be tested - SBC brakes- transmission- rear diff -etc all with the potential to add major cost to any resto.:dk:

Go for it,the problem might be a core plug dropped out,that is a hole on the engine,you never know could be the bargain of a lifetime,turn up buy it fit ne core plug fill with water drive away,you must buy it you know it makes sense :bannana:
 
No longer listed.
When I last looked it was £1500 and still bidding.

The car was worth a lot more than that if stripped for parts, even if some other bits were non working.

I'm afraid it wouldn't have interested me if I was in the market. Too many unknowns when buying unseen.
 
I doubt a remap and smaller pulley would have caused this.

Even at 550BHP, they are running 100BHP per litre. Hardly stressed...

No thanks; been there, done that, had two E55Ks, moved on.
